-**If you are in CS 159, you will not be able to enroll in any CS classes above CS 227 until you are fully admitted to the CS major or minor.** This will not occur until after final grades for CS 159 are posted at the end of the semester. Therefore, you will have to register for your CS classes in Dec/May, not during early enrollment in Nov./April - don't worry, we reserve seats in these courses. 
- 
-I recommend you keep spots open in your schedule for the sections that you want. (Note, as a fully admitted student, you will be eligible to take CS 240 (very time-intensive), CS 261 (//very// time-intensive), CS 345, or the CS elective CS 343 (while an elective, it is a prerequisite to the web dev electives: CS 347, 374, and 447). 
- 
-Since I am risk-averse, I recommend enrolling in 15-credits during your Enrollment Window (since this is your best option to get your non-CS courses) and then you can decide which ones to drop if/when you get access to enroll in your CS courses. If you are unsure if you will be fully admitted into the major, I recommend enrolling in courses that will serve as a back-up major.  
- 
-Because there are so many students coming into the CS major, we usually have to apportion people into 240, 261, and 345. When you are admitted into the major, you will likely also be told which two of these three core classes to enroll in; you can enroll in the other ones in the following semester.  
- 
-If you made anything lower than an A in 159, I strongly recommend you plan to take CS 240 and CS 261 in separate semesters - they are both very time-intensive courses! 
- 
-See sample plans of study here: https://www.jmu.edu/cise/cs/academics/undergraduate/curriculum/index.shtml  
- 
-If you are fully admitted, you will receive an email in Dec./May inviting you to enroll in the CS classes. You need to act on that ASAP, because those classes do fill up!
